Executions by State

Executions by State

Below are execution statistics for every state (and the Federal government) from 1976 to the present. Executions are also broken down by method, and there is a list of states and other jurisdictions without the death penalty. Two states (Kansas and New Hampshire) are not abolitionist but have had no executions; they are not listed. For execution statistics prior to 1976 (and through 2002), see the Death Penalty Information Center's display of data from The Espy File.

Pakistan: Two Men Face Execution, One Convicted at 16 (UA 50/15)

Two men are due to be executed in Karachi Central Prison on 7 March. One of the men was aged 16 when he was sentenced to death in 1999. Unless halted, this will take the number of executions to 26 since the moratorium was lifted in December 2014.
